Poe likes Felicia Harris

In the 14th Congressional District endorsement race, Randy Weber got Ron Paul the other day, and now Felicia Harris gets Ted Poe.

“I normally do not endorse candidates in the Republican primary, but I am making an exception to endorse Felicia Harris because this is a critical election and I believe she is the most committed conservative and best candidate to take on Nick Lampson,” said Poe, who represents the 2nd Congressional District.

U.S. Rep. Pete Olson, R-Houston, also endorsed Harris, a Pearland City Council member who came in second to Weber in the May primary. The two-term state representative from Pearland was the favorite in the race, primarily because of name identification, but Harris may be making up ground with her endorsements. An attorney, she is a graduate of Texas A&M and South Texas College of Law.

The winner of the Harris-Baker runoff will face former Congressman Nick Lampson, of Beaumont, in the general election.
